General Information
This well-established practice has served the Cheshire community from its current location since 1977 and is a recognised healthcare provider for most major health insurance companies.
Comprising two highly experienced qualified practitioners and two dedicated administrators, the practice provides a professional service to those suffering from a wide variety of mechanical musculo-skeletal conditions, both of the spine and of peripheral joints. Both practitioners hold qualifications in 1st response First Aid.
Frequently the presenting symptoms are sciatica, low back pain, joint pain, headache, tendonitis, tennis elbow and sports injuries.
Enjoying an excellent relationship with other local, trusted healthcare specialists outside the field of osteopathy, any necessary onward private referrals such as for X-ray or MRI scans can be quickly and conveniently arranged ensuring the prompt and appropriate treatment of your condition.
